Woman: The best one, obviously.
Carrie: Number 9 for me, please! Woman: Yep.

Carrie: We've got a letter.
"We wanted to make you a little something special
for you, Scott and Oliver."
Scott: [gasps]
Carrie: "Anyone that follows the antics of you three
could not help but be moved and inspired
by the sheer magic of your friendship."
Scott: Aww!
Carrie: "Our nieces said to us just the other week
how they had thought it so funny
that you all love Harry Potter so much
as you three seem like the Harry, Ron and Hermione
of the musical theatre world.
So, we thought what better dolls to create for you all
to show our regards than the three of you
as Hogwarts students."
Scott: No! Carrie: "A magical trio
if ever there was one."
Carrie: We've got Oliver. Jen: Aww!
Oliver: Yes!
Scott: Oh, my God, that is so cool!
Scott: I'm gonna be fucking Hagrid, aren't I? Carrie: No!
[All laugh]
Carrie: There's me.
Scott: Oh, my God!
Jen: Oh, my God, that's amazing!
Carrie: Here is you, as a
Carrie: A Ravenclaw! Scott: [screams/laughs]
Scott: [gasps]
Scott: Oh, my God, that's so cool! Carrie: Isn't it great?!
Scott: Aww, that is absolutely amazing.
Oliver: So good, innit?
Scott: Thank you so much! Carrie: Thank you fabby dabby dolls!
Scott: Thank you fabby dabby dolls!
Carrie: Everything alright?
Oliver: These are the ones. Carrie: Yeah?
Carrie: They look nice!
Carrie: As long as you can split leap in them, you're fine.
Oliver: Yeah.
Carrie: [laughs]
Carrie: Why do they lock behind you?
Oliver: I don't know.
Oliver: Welcome to Hollister.
Carrie: [laughs]
Oliver: [grunts]
Carrie: It's a good job you're buying those ones.
Carrie: [clears throat]
Carrie: [gasps]
Oliver: You can't put that in.
Oliver: Oh, God's sake! Carrie: [laughs]
Oliver: [laughs] Oh, no! Carrie: [laughs]
Oliver: [laughs]
Oliver: This is so-
Carrie: This is a low point for you, Oliver.
Carrie: I feel like I've slept for so long
my face is swollen.
Today is a 'I'm slightly under the weather' kind of day
as you can probably hear from my voice.
Back to back shows
are hard.
So we start the first show at 5,
we finish the first show at 7:30,
and then we have
20, 25 minutes
until 7:55
when the half hour call for the 8:30 show
begins.
So, no-one really gets out of costume or wigs,
and it feels like you're sort of doing
one long show with four acts,
as opposed to two shows with two acts.
I got given this amazing mug
and as you can see by the state of this dressing room,
I muddle things up very, very quickly
so I can't remember who gave this to me.
But thank you so much
to the person who gave me this mug.
Look at it.
It's got ears either side!
I absolutely love it.
I also came to work to this today.
A little trick or treat bucket with
a massive thing of Galaxy chocolates in it.
So the cast are going to have to eat these pretty fast.
Guys, I've been given so many treats, it's unreal.
Oh, the smell that came out of that then.
The amount of treats you guys have
given me this week is insane.
Like, there's no way I can eat them all myself.
Stage door here has been
cray cray.
Like, mega mega cray cray.
[indistinct chatter]
Man: Is this stage door?
Other man: Yeah, can you hold that a second?
[indistinct chatter]
Scott: This isn't for me, it's for Carrie.
Scott: I'm not just filming you randomly.
Scott: [laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
Man: Guys, can we just let a little-
Man: Make a little bit of room
Man: to get people in and out the door, please.
[indistinct chatter]
Scott: [laughs]
Scott: Oh, my God.
Scott: So many people.
Woman: Scott, can we get a photo?
Scott: Of course you can!
Scott: Absolutely.
Woman: Thank you.
Carrie: More cray cray than I anticipated.
for Glasgow.
Right, this is the problem, Fletcher.
When you dump everything everywhere,
you can never find anything.
There's been sort of anywhere between
50 and 80 people a night.
And apparently,
- and this is amazing -
people have been coming to
see the show at the beginning of the week,
and then,
buying tickets again
for the end of the week
because they enjoyed themselves so much.
Which is, you know, amazing to hear.
But yeah, stage door was
intense the other night.
I went out because I had someone to stay with me.
And, um, make sure I was alright
and make sure everyone else was okay.
I was there for sort of 40 minutes
Everyone was so, so lovely.
Everyone was really, really sweet.
I don't know, I just didn't expect
Glasgow to have one of the busiest stage doors.
It's pretty cool.
But I think it's funny because sometimes I say:
"Oh, there were like 50 people at stage door that night."
And people just go:
"Oh, well you're exaggerating.
Because there's never 50 people at stage door."
No, no really. There's like 50 people at stage door.
And yeah, sometimes I think it's hard to sort of imagine,
um,
how potentially dangerous it could be
if people start, like, pushing and shoving.
But hopefully when I show you this footage,
you can see that it's literally just
me, on my own,
in a sea of people.
Which can be lovely if everyone's lovely.
I think, in any situation,
when you're in a packed crowd of people,
it only takes
one thing or one person
to suddenly turn that situation hostile.
Which is why I'm always harping on about stage door
and trying to make sure everyone's okay.
Stage door the other night was lovely.
It was really, really sweet.
Everyone in Glasgow seems to be really polite
and just really respectful.
[hums]
[knock on the door]
I can't turn my tannoy down.
I've given my best shot and uh,
you're gonna have to put up with
the show in the background.
It'll get quieter in a second. Hang on.
[Music/singing coming from the tannoy]
[applause coming from the tannoy]
Over the years, I've become very good at
um,
being very detached.
Um, [stammers].
Out of context, that sounds really dramatic.
I need to finish my sentence immediately.
Um,
detached from
uh, people I don't know.
I get sent letters every day,
I have a pile of letters next to me constantly.
in my dressing room, and a big box at home.
And, um,
everyone always sort of pours their hearts out,
and tells me their story.
Because, I guess it's easier to tell
a stranger your issues,
than it is to
tell someone close to you.
So, I- I read
some very sad stories every day
and I read lots of peoples issues, and
I have done ever since I started YouTube
which was like, six years ago
when I was 18, 19.
So I've learnt over the years
not to not engage with people,
but just to become detached
from their stories so I don't then carry
those bad feelings, or I don't then carry
someone else's problems with me through my life
because you know I've got my own issues to deal with.
So, you know, I'll engage with people and talk to them,
and you know, reply and
offer my help and advice
where I can.
But I've learnt to sort of detach myself
so I don't let
other peoples' problems become my problems.
Which I think is the only thing you can do,
when you're in a position
like this, otherwise I'd probably just
be crying all of the time. [laughs]
But every now and again,
I read a letter and it coincides with a moment
of fragility or vulnerability that I'm having myself.
[sniffs]
And I have a little cry.
Which is
uh, what
this letter has done.
And I need to be careful not to cry again, because
I still have to-
I still have a show to finish.
But Morgan,
Morgan Burns,
please know that um,
your letter has been recieved,
and read, and a
um,
a postcard will be on its way by the end of the day.
And, um, your- your letter has
very much moved me.
[laughs]
So thank you and
I hope you're alright.
Obviously, I'll write more
in the postcard. [laughs]
Oh, God, this isn't even the last letter.
I've still got a massive bag to go.
I've still got these to go.
So I might have to take these
with me to Wolverhampton
tomorrow and do them on the train, because
I don't think my temperament at the moment
is gonna allow me
to get through those letters
without bawling my eyes out, so.
[sniffs]
[sighs]
Just finished the first show.
Still getting make-up off my face
and I'm headed to the company management office
to do a live interview.
Look at my lips.
Scott: [laughs]
Carrie: Look at my lips!
I can't get the lipstick off.
Scott: Who are you even talking to? What's up?
Carrie: I can't get the lipstick off! Look!
Scott: Oh, no!
Scott: Is it a live interview?
Carrie: I think- I hope- I have no idea.
Carrie: Wish me luck.
Scott: Bye!
Carrie: Hi! How are you?
Oh God, yeah. I was saying actually yesterday that
we're all still loving the show so much
I don't think I've ever seen a cast so in love
with a show, with a piece before.
Usually at this point in the tour,
everyone's winding down and you know,
people are looking forward to
going home for Christmas.
But we've booked a holiday together,
after the tour finishes,
because we don't want it to end. [laughs]
Yeah, completely.
If you told me,
10 years ago that this is what my life
would be like now, I would have told you to shut up.
Carrie: It's my first time in Wolverhampton, yeah.
See you there!
Thank you so much, bye!
